Re: Sam vokes
In this market he is worth 12-15m in my eyes.
Stoke are asking for £15m for Mame Biram-Diouf for example (unbeliavably).

Re: Sam vokes
No scoring Bamford went for £15m
Sam is an international Premier league goal scorer
£20m min our days of giving players away are long gone
But I want him to stay

Re: Sam vokes
We need Vokes.
All our strikers got injured last year at some point. We can't afford to lose him.

Re: Sam vokes
We’d have to bring a replacement in first surely? Ok he’s not getting in the starting eleven that often, but he’s first choice sub if we’re playing two up front.

True, but the majority of those goals were in an 18 month purple patch in 2014 and 15. Think his records was fairly average at Boro last season.ClaretTony wrote:Bamford's record in the Championship:

Re: Sam vokes
Everyone can see how effective Sam is at putting the ball in the net from our corners.
What they tend to miss is how good he is at keeping the ball out of our net from oppositions corners.
Big Sam is an important part of our squad. That goal against Aberdeen was a cracker.
He is in the final year of his contract which puts a financial spin on things, but I hope he stays with us.

Re: Sam vokes
Far be it for me to promote Bamford, and I agree he had that purple patch at Derby & Boro. Last season he started 23, sub 16 and scored 11. 9 of those goals came in a run of 7 games in Feb & March.martin_p wrote:True, but the majority of those goals were in an 18 month purple patch in 2014 and 15.

If our valuation us met I can only think we already have another striker lined up, or that the fee for Vokes would allow us to increase our bid for Jay.

Re: Sam vokes
Obviously don't want to see Sam leave, however with only a year left on his contract (and no sign of us renewing? unless I have missed something) and the fact I am sure he wants (and fitness wise needs) to be playing regularly can understand if he moved elsewhere, as mentioned above hopefully we have identified a replacement? but please not Peter Crouch!

Absolute disaster to get rid of Sam imo, gives so much to the team, only reason his goals per game ratio isn't better is because he doesn't get enough game time.

If I was Sam that would be my view. This guy is a proven international and he may not end up playing enough games throughout his career.ClaretTony wrote:There may be nothing in it but if there is it could even be that Sam wants a move. He did only start 7 Premier League games last season.
He is fortunate or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it, that he is now at a top half prem team. This is in no small part due to him and yet bringing in top players now means he may play even less...at least there may be more games this year to keep the fringe players happy.
Tbh he was a bit harshly dropped after an early game last season (given the performance at Chelsea)...but he always seems to have a great attitude and that’s why it would be great if he stays

Re: Sam vokes
My thinking entirely and I was going to post the same until I saw this. Sam is an international with plenty of PL experience and although not the greatest at this level he can score, especially when he comes on as sub, he rattles them. It is distinctly possible that he doesn't want to spend another season sitting on the bench, even in the PL, and if he went to a Championship club he would be worth millions to them at that level as he has proved. Maybe he has had a word with Sean and maybe they don't want to lose him but won't stand in his way. And don't forget there are a number of Championship clubs who would pay him more than we do.ClaretTony wrote:There may be nothing in it but if there is it could even be that Sam wants a move.

I like Vokes though and Vydra doesn’t replace what he brings to the team.

Re: Sam vokes
I'd be very disappointed to see Vokes go.
I do think he's undervalued generally, possibly the best bench option we've ever had in my time watching Burnley.
And over the course of the season in the PL - that's worth £10M in itself.

Re: Sam vokes
I'd definitely keep Sam. It's a shame he only gets cameo roles for us, but he never lets us down.
On the other hand, if he is after more games, and thinks he needs to leave to find them, then we shouldn't stand in his way, he's earned the opportunity.
I would still want a replacement through the door first, before I let him go.
Maybe a deal could be struck with WBA, a partnership of Vokes and Gayle could come off in the championship.

Re: Sam vokes
Probably me being dense as usual but how does this spin out? I assume he is travelling to Istanbul today. The deadline is 5pm Thursday and we have a game at 7pm over yonder. So is he going, is he staying behind, might he have to fly back to Teeside Flight Tracker style. Like I say, probably me missing something obvious.. ..
